Currently on breaking, initial_params has to be specified as an AbstractInitStrategy. This PR makes it such that:

  • NamedTuple and AbstractDict{<:VarName} are also allowed, they get wrapped in InitFromParams with an info message encouraging people to upgrade instead;
  • Vector errors with a link to the docs telling people how to upgrade.

* Bump minor version

* bump benchmarks compat

* add a skeletal changelog

* `InitContext`, part 3 - Introduce `InitContext` (#981)

* Implement InitContext

* Fix loading order of modules; move `prefix(::Model)` to model.jl

* Add tests for InitContext behaviour

* inline `rand(::Distributions.Uniform)`

Note that, apart from being simpler code, Distributions.Uniform also
doesn't allow the lower and upper bounds to be exactly equal (but we
might like to keep that option open in DynamicPPL, e.g. if the user
wants to initialise all values to the same value in linked space).

* Document

* Add a test to check that `init!!` doesn't change linking

* Fix `push!` for VarNamedVector

This should have been changed in #940, but slipped through as the file
wasn't listed as one of the changed files.

* Add some line breaks

* Add the option of no fallback for ParamsInit

* Improve docstrings

* typo

* `p.default` -> `p.fallback`

* Rename `{Prior,Uniform,Params}Init` -> `InitFrom{Prior,Uniform,Params}`

* tidy occurrences of varname_leaves as well (#1031)

* `InitContext`, part 4 - Use `init!!` to replace `evaluate_and_sample!!`, `predict`, `returned`, and `initialize_values` (#984)

* Replace `evaluate_and_sample!!` -> `init!!`

* Use `ParamsInit` for `predict`; remove `setval_and_resample!` and friends

* Use `init!!` for initialisation

* Paper over the `Sampling->Init` context stack (pending removal of SamplingContext)
